The US brands that build that into the pack are Seasonique, Lo-Seasonique, and Seasonale, but you can do it with any monophasic pill at a much lower cost. Using Levora, Nordette, or Portia would give you the exact same medication; only the cool case would be missing. There is also generic Seasonale sold under the names Quasense, Jolessa, and Introvale.

Once you are on your period can you take a birth control pill to stop it?
Taking a birth control pill will not stop you from getting your period. It might make your periods shorter and lighter. There is a pill out there that makes it so your body only gets four periods a year, but I wouldn't recommend it. Your body does things for a reason, and 12 periods a year is more natural.
When you only have your period every four months because of birth control do you still ovulate every month?
No, the point of birth control is so that your body will not ovulate so that you will not get pregnant. Your period is withdrawal bleeding, which is not the same as regular periods.
Can your period change if your body rejects your birth control pills?
There is no medical concept of birth control pill rejection, but some women may have changes in their periods on one birth control pill that they don't like. Changing to another brand may help. My friend has been switching back and forth between the b.c. that makes you have periods every three months and Ortho and her last period lasted twelve days with lots of cramps. Her doctor recently had her take two regular pills of Ortho for four days.. then her bleeding stopped and he adviced her to stay with Ortho!
What could be wrong if you are 31 and on birth control pills and your last four periods have been much shorter than normal?
Simply hormones, stress, anything. I doubt that there is anything wrong.
Is it normal to not have a period if on birth control pills for a long time?
It depends on what type of birth control you are on. If you are on a birth control that will only make you have four or so periods a year, then it is normal. If you are on a normal birth control it really isn't normal to not have a period. Failure to menstrate is often caused by hormonal imbalances, certain conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, could be causing the imbalance. In any case a good consultation with a family physician or a gynecologist would be a good order.
You use to take birth control pill about three years you decided to stop and start using condom when you stopped your period ceased for four months It resumes on November 2nd to 6th The next month you?
Unfortunately this does sometimes happen with birth control but its not as common as having irregular periods for a few months after stopping birth control. Perform a pregnancy test if you suspect pregnancy or see your Doctor.
Can birth control help contol the migraines that are cause by your period?
When it comes to migraines, birth control can be tricky. For some people, being on birth control can cause more migraines. For some people, being on birth control can reduce their migraines. For some people, there is no change at all. There is a small risk, that birth control can cause strokes. People who have classic migraines (or migraine with aura) also have this small risk. So being on birth control can increase the risk for stroke that those type of migraines already increase the chance of. It is a small risk, but it is something to be aware of. It is just like being aware that if you smoke while on birth control, you increase your chance of stroke. Just another factor to discuss with your doctor.
Can you use birth control pills to move when you get your period?
yes you can just take the birth control, when you stop your period should start three to four days after.
If you take four birth control pills can you get rid of your baby?
Birth control pills prevent you from getting pregnant, not help you get rid of the fetus after it's already there.
If you've been on birth control for four days and you don't take your pill can you become pregnant?
Yes. Birth control is NEVER a 100% blocker. The only surefire way is abstinence.
How can you skip your period if you are not taking the pill?
Pregnancy, stress, dieting/extreme weight loss, exercising, illness - all can cause missed periods.you can not artificially induce skipped periods... however the new birth control shots will decrease your period to four a year.
What if you took four birth control pills at one time?
That's a normal thing to do if you're using the birth control pill for emergency contraception. (Only certain birth control pills can be used in this way, and the doses differ depending on the pill.) If you're just trying to make up for missed pills, taking four at a time has no benefit, and is likely to cause nausea and vomiting.
